Abstract
Objective(s): Recently, we showed that some new synthetic compounds structurally related to cilostamide (4-(1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinolin-6-hydroxy)- N-cyclohexyl-N-methylbutanamide), a selective phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor, produce inotropic effect comparable to that of IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine), a non-selective PDE inhibitor, but with differential chronotropic effect. In this investigation, we compared the pharmacological effects of these compounds as potential cardiotonic agents using the spontaneously beating atria model. Materials and Methods: In each experiment, rats were treated with reserpine. The atrium was isolated and mounted in an organ bath. We assessed chronotropic and inotropic effects using cumulative log concentration-response curves of isoprenaline alone or in combination of each test-compound. Results: Majority of test compounds augment atria contraction force (ACF) significantly but with different potencies on atrium contraction rate. Cilostamide, MCPIP ([4-(4-methyl piperazin-1-yl)-4-oxobutoxy)-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one]), methyl carbostyril compounds- (mc1), mc2 and mc5 increased the isoprenaline effect on ACF synergistically. But, mc6 failed to potentiate the effect of isoprenalin; mc3 and mc4 did not increase ACF, which may be because of their higher hydrophilic nature. It was interesting that mc2, alone or in combination with isoprenaline, produced the highest inotropic effect while it did not affect the basal contraction rate and almost blocked the isoprenaline chronotropic effect. Conclusion: Combination of mc2 with isoprenaline had synergistic effect on inotropic effect, but this combination reduced isoprenaline chronotropic effect; therefore, these effects cannot be related to reducing B-adrenergic receptors activity. These compounds showed different effects; probably all of them were not mediated via PDE3 inhibition and other mechanisms are involving.

Abstract
Introduction Mechanical and morphological ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is reduced in septic hearts. The mechanism behind this “cardioprotection” is less well understood. As adenosine receptors play a major role for cardioprotection in non-septic hearts, we investigated the influence of adenosine receptors in a model of I/R in septic hearts. Methods SHAM operation or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was performed in adult male Wistar rats (n = 60). After 24 h of incubation, hearts were isolated and randomly assigned to a group with or without adenosine receptor (Ador) antagonists (SCH 58261 and MRS 1706) administered before reperfusion. Ischemia and reperfusion lasted for 40 min each. Cardiac function of the heart was determined by measuring left ventricular pressure (LVP). Results Before I/R, CLP hearts showed a significant mechanical left ventricular impairment (CLP: 63 ± 5 mmHg vs. SHAM: 104 ± 6 mmHg. After I/R, left ventricular function was significantly reduced in SHAM (24 ± 32 mmHg), but not in CLP hearts (65 ± 13 mmHg). mRNA expression for the AdorA2a and AdorA2b was significantly increased in CLP, but not in SHAM hearts. LVP of CLP hearts deteriorated when AdorA2a and AdorA2b were blocked. Conclusions The morphological and functional I/R injury in septic animals is less pronounced compared to non-septic animals. By a combined blockade of AdorA2a and AdorA2b this “cardioprotective” effect is nearly abolished in septic hearts. This is the first study showing, that AdorA2a and AdorA2b may play an important role for a reduced functional I/R injury in the septic heart.

ORM-3819 promotes cardiac contractility through Ca(2+) sensitization in combination with selective PDE III inhibition, a novel approach to inotropy. Eur J Pharmacol 2016; 775:120-9. [PMID: 26872993 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2016.02.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2015] [Revised: 02/05/2016] [Accepted: 02/08/2016] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
This study is the first pharmacological characterization of the novel chemical entity, ORM-3819 (L-6-{4-[N'-(4-Hydroxi-3-methoxy-2-nitro-benzylidene)-hydrazino]-phenyl}-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-2H-pyridazin-3-one), focusing primarily on its cardiotonic effects. ORM-3819 binding to cardiac troponin C (cTnC) was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and a selective inhibition of the phosphodiesterase III (PDE III) isozyme (IC50=3.88±0.3 nM) was revealed during in vitro enzyme assays. The Ca(2+)-sensitizing effect of ORM-3819 was demonstrated in vitro in permeabilized myocyte-sized preparations from left ventricles (LV) of guinea pig hearts (ΔpCa50=0.12±0.01; EC50=2.88±0.14 µM). ORM-3819 increased the maximal rate of LV pressure development (+dP/dtmax) (EC50=8.9±1.7 nM) and LV systolic pressure (EC50=7.63±1.74 nM) in Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts. Intravenous administration of ORM-3819 increased LV+dP/dtmax (EC50=0.13±0.05 µM/kg) and improved the rate of LV pressure decrease (-dP/dtmax); (EC50=0.03±0.02 µM/kg) in healthy guinea pigs. In an in vivo dog model of myocardial stunning, ORM-3819 restored the depressed LV+dP/dtmax and improved % segmental shortening (%SS) in the ischemic area (to 18.8±3), which was reduced after the ischaemia-reperfusion insult (from 24.1±2.1 to 11.0±2.4). Our data demonstrate ORM-3819 as a potent positive inotropic agent exerting its cardiotonic effect by a cTnC-dependent Ca(2+)-sensitizing mechanism in combination with the selective inhibition of the PDE III isozyme. This dual mechanism of action results in the concentration-dependent augmentation of the contractile performance under control conditions and in the postischemic failing myocardium.

Abstract
Inotropes and vasopressors are biologically and clinically important compounds that originate from different pharmacological groups and act at some of the most fundamental receptor and signal transduction systems in the body. More than 20 such agents are in common clinical use, yet few reviews of their pharmacology exist outside of physiology and pharmacology textbooks. Despite widespread use in critically ill patients, understanding of the clinical effects of these drugs in pathological states is poor. The purpose of this article is to describe the pharmacology and clinical applications of inotropic and vasopressor agents in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac toxicity significantly correlates with the lipophilicity of local anesthetics (LAs). Recently, the infusion of lipid emulsions has been shown to be a promising approach to treat LA-induced cardiac arrest. As the postulated mechanism of action, the so-called "lipid sink" effect may depend on the lipophilicity of LAs. In this study, we investigated whether lipid effects differ with regard to the administered LAs. METHODS In the isolated rat heart, cardiac arrest was induced by administration of equipotent doses of bupivacaine, ropivacaine, and mepivacaine, respectively, followed by cardiac perfusion with or without lipid emulsion (0.25 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)). Subsequently, the times from the start of perfusion to return of first heart activity and to recovery of heart rate and rate-pressure product (to 90% of baseline values) were assessed. RESULTS In all groups, lipid infusion had no effects on the time to the return of any cardiac activity. However, recovery times of heart rate and rate-pressure product (to 90% of baseline values) were significantly shorter with the administration of lipids in bupivacaine-induced cardiac toxicity, but not in ropivacaine- or mepivacaine-induced cardiac toxicity. CONCLUSIONS These data show that the effects of lipid infusion on LA-induced cardiac arrest are strongly dependent on the administered LAs itself. We conclude that lipophilicity of LAs has a marked impact on the efficacy of lipid infusions to treat cardiac arrest induced by these drugs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current debate about the side effects of induction agents, e.g. possible adrenal suppression through etomidate, emphasizes the relevance of choosing the correct induction agent in septic patients. However, cardiovascular depression is still the most prominent adverse effect of these agents, and might be especially hazardous in septic patients presenting with a biventricular cardiac dysfunction--or so-called septic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, we tested the dose-response direct cardiac effects of clinically available induction agents in an isolated septic rat heart model. METHODS A polymicrobial sepsis was induced via cecal ligation and single puncture. Hearts (n = 50) were isolated and randomly assigned to five groups, each receiving etomidate, s(+)-ketamine, midazolam, propofol, or methohexitone at concentrations of 1 x 10-8 to 1 x 10-4 M. Left ventricular pressure, contractility and lusitropy, and coronary flow were measured. Cardiac work, myocardial oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, and percentage of oxygen extraction were calculated. RESULTS All of the induction agents tested showed a dose-dependent depression of cardiac work. Maximal cardiac work dysfunction occurred in the rank order of s(+)-ketamine (-6%) <etomidate (-17%) <methohexitone (-31%) <midazolam (-38%) <propofol (-50%). In addition, propofol showed a maximum decrease in contractility of -38%, a reduction in lusitropy of -44%, and a direct vasodilator effect by increasing coronary flow by +29%. CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study demonstrates that these tested drugs indeed have differential direct cardiac effects in the isolated septic heart. Propofol showed the most pronounced adverse direct cardiac effects. In contrast, S(+)ketamine showed cardiovascular stability over a wide range of concentrations, and might therefore be a beneficial alternative to etomidate.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that degrade cellular cAMP and cGMP and are thus essential for regulating the cyclic nucleotides. At least 11 families of PDEs have been identified, each with a distinctive structure, activity, expression, and tissue distribution. The PDE type-3, -4, and -5 (PDE3, PDE4, PDE5) are localized to specific regions of the cardiomyocyte, such as the sarcoplasmic reticulum and Z-disc, where they are likely to influence cAMP/cGMP signaling to the end effectors of contractility. Several PDE inhibitors exhibit remarkable hemodynamic and inotropic properties that may be valuable to clinical practice. In particular, PDE3 inhibitors have potent cardiotonic effects that can be used for short-term inotropic support, especially in situations where adrenergic stimulation is insufficient. Most relevant to this review, PDE inhibitors have also been found to have cytoprotective effects in the heart. For example, PDE3 inhibitors have been shown to be cardioprotective when given before ischemic attack, whereas PDE5 inhibitors, which include three widely used erectile dysfunction drugs (sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil), can induce remarkable cardioprotection when administered either prior to ischemia or upon reperfusion. This article provides an overview of the current laboratory and clinical evidence, as well as the cellular mechanisms by which the inhibitors of PDE3, PDE4 and PDE5 exert their beneficial effects on normal and ischemic hearts. It seems that PDE inhibitors hold great promise as clinically applicable agents that can improve cardiac performance and cell survival under critical situations, such as ischemic heart attack, cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, and heart failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of a bolus of milrinone, 50 microg/kg, versus placebo on flow in coronary artery bypass grafts after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). DESIGN A prospective, randomized, double-blind study. SETTING A university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Forty-four patients with stable angina and left ventricular ejection fraction >30% scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery were included. INTERVENTION Patients were randomized to receive 50 microg/kg of milrinone (n = 22) or placebo (n = 22) after aortic declamping. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The flow in coronary artery bypass grafts was measured with a transit time flow meter at 10 minutes and 30 minutes after termination of CPB. The hemodynamic evaluation included transesophageal echocardiography, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, and intracavitary measurement of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). The flow in the saphenous vein grafts was significantly higher in the milrinone group when compared with the placebo group both at 10 and 30 minutes after termination of CPB (p < 0.001). At 10 minutes, the flow was 64.5 +/- 37.4 mL/min (mean +/- standard deviation) and 43.6 +/- 25.7 mL/min in nonsequential vein grafts for milrinone and placebo, respectively. Corresponding values at 30 minutes were 54.8 +/- 29.9 mL/min and 35.3 +/- 22.4 mL/min. The left internal thoracic artery (LITA) flow was higher in the milrinone group but did not reach statistical significance. The fractional area change was higher, and the MAP and calculated pressure gradient (MAP-LVEDP) were lower at 10 minutes in the milrinone group. CONCLUSION Milrinone significantly increases the flow in anastomosed saphenous vein grafts after CPB, and has beneficial effects on left ventricular function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined effects of phosphodiesterase type III inhibition on regional myocardial metabolism and global left ventricular function, during ischemia, in the presence of beta-blockade. METHODS Twenty-three pigs were randomized and studied to completion in four groups: C, did not receive drugs; M, received 50 microg/kg milrinone; E, received esmolol (150 microg/kg/min); E+M, received both. The left anterior descending artery (LADa) was then occluded for 15 min, followed by a 60-min reperfusion. Left ventricular (LV) function data obtained included LV pressures, cardiac output (CO), slope of end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (Emax), and dP/dT. Blood lactate concentrations were obtained from the aorta, LADa, and vein at baseline, end of occlusion, and during early (5 min) and late (1 h) reperfusion. RESULTS During ischemia, occlusion produced significant depression in LV dP/dT, Emax and concomitant elevation of LVEDP that persisted over early reperfusion in groups not treated with milrinone. After ischemia, measurements of CO were higher, with lower LVEDP and SVR; LV dP/dT and the Emax were higher, with lower LVEDP in the E+M group vs. the E group. Ischemic region lactate extraction during ischemia was better with E group vs. C group. Esmolol without or with milrinone was associated with nonsignificant lactate ischemic production during early reperfusion from baseline values. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that the pre-emptive administration of milrinone before ischemia was associated with less ischemic hemodynamic effects, without worsening the ischemic metabolic process. The combination E+M diminished ischemic metabolic impairment, and preserved left ventricular function and baseline hemodynamics.

Abstract
Spontaneous beating of rabbit sinoatrial node cells (SANCs) is controlled by cAMP-mediated, protein kinase A-dependent local subsarcolemmal ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) releases (LCRs). LCRs activated an inward Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange current that increases the terminal diastolic depolarization rate and, therefore, the spontaneous SANC beating rate. Basal cAMP in SANCs is elevated, suggesting that cAMP degradation by phosphodiesterases (PDEs) may be low. Surprisingly, total suppression of PDE activity with a broad-spectrum PDE inhibitor, 3'-isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), produced a 9-fold increase in the cAMP level, doubled cAMP-mediated, protein kinase A-dependent phospholamban phosphorylation, and increased SANC firing rate by approximately 55%, indicating a high basal activity of PDEs in SANCs. A comparison of specific PDE1 to -5 inhibitors revealed that the specific PDE3 inhibitor, milrinone, accelerated spontaneous firing by approximately 47% (effects of others were minor) and increased amplitude of L-type Ca(2+) current (I(Ca,L)) by approximately 46%, indicating that PDE3 was the major constitutively active PDE in the basal state. PDE-dependent control of the spontaneous SANC firing was critically dependent on subsarcolemmal LCRs, ie, PDE inhibition increased LCR amplitude and size and decreased LCR period, leading to earlier and augmented LCR Ca(2+) release, Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange current, and an increase in the firing rate. When ryanodine receptors were disabled by ryanodine, neither IBMX nor milrinone was able to amplify LCRs, accelerate diastolic depolarization rate, or increase the SANC firing rate, despite preserved PDE inhibition-induced augmentation of I(Ca,L) amplitude. Thus, basal constitutive PDE activation provides a novel and powerful mechanism to decrease cAMP, limit cAMP-mediated, protein kinase A-dependent increase of diastolic ryanodine receptor Ca(2+) release, and restrict the spontaneous SANC beating rate.
